PURELY PILATES HOSTS JAY GRIMES IN FEBRUARY 2009
 Dates are still being confirmed, but we are excited to announce that Pilates elder, Jay Grimes will be at our studio to teach semi-private sessions and conduct a special teacher training workshop at the end of February 2009.
Jay Grimes began his studies with Joseph Pilates in the mid-sixties. After Joe’s death he continued with Joe’s wife, Clara, for another 10 years until her death. Jay began teaching in the original 8th Ave studio in New York, then moved with the studio to 56th Street where he taught alongside (as well as studied with) Romana Kryzanowska and John Winters.
A contemporary of Romana Kryzanowska (the first instructor under whom our own instructors, Allison Gonzalez and Emily Goldenberg became certified), Grimes was a student of Joseph Pilates and then taught for many years with Joe and Clara in their New York Studio.
Over the years, Jay’s clients have ranged from stars of Broadway and Hollywood, music and opera, to politicians, businessmen and housewives. He currently provides ongoing training to instructors, conducting workshops and master classes around the world. He has made numerous TV appearances, including the Discovery Channel’s Fit TV with Marilu Henner, with whom he also made videos for her Body Victory program.
Now based in Los Angeles, Jay is sought after around the world as one of the foremost teachers’ teacher of Authentic Pilates. Jay will be traveling to the Bay area with Karen Frischmann, who is assisting him during this trip. Karen is the daughter of our clients, Pat and Don Frischmann and the person who initially encouraged her parents to take sessions at Purely Pilates because we teach the "Classical Method." Pat and Don have generously volunteered to host Jay and Karen during their visit.
We would prefer payment for Jay's semi-private sessions and workship to be in the
form of Cash or Check only. We will send a follow up email message with further information on Jay's schedule of events.
